similar to: beryl fork

Hi I just tried out the new 0.1.0 release of beryl. Generally I do like the compiz fdo version, because I like the gconf integration and the metacity theme support in gwd. Also I think their configuration system is a complete mess, this beryl settings manager is completly bloated in my opinion. Anyway, I noticed they have quite a lot of plugins. While I found most of them nothing special, the

Hi again. I've got a laptop with an ATI X600 inside, perfectly working xorg with dual head configuration, 2 desktops (without xinerama). I've got 2 xorg.conf files, one for propietary ATI (fglrx) driver, and other to use the open source driver. The difference is very notorious. The problem I have is that I read (Saint Google) that to work with compiz/beryl and dual-head configuration, I

Compiz and Beryl merge: What's really going on? Recently Quinns post to the beryl-dev mailing list entitled 'Merge on' has led to a lot of discussion, some of which has been good and some of which has led to a lot of misinformation, to clear things up I'd like to give the story of the merge, and the justification for some of the more peculiar aspects. Basically lets try to avoid

After several weeks of discussion the leaders of Compiz and Beryl have agreed that the two communities shall reunite. This decision is supported by both David and Quinn and represents the majority decision of the administrators and developers in each community. At this early stage not a lot has been decided, but these are the main points of the agreement: - As had previously been decided,

This was a private mail and not supposed to go to the compiz list. Please don't don't read it unless you're on the compiz admin list. :) I've apologized to Jeff, Mike, Rico and Arturo for making this mistake and I'd like to apologize to anyone else who might have been offended by it. I guess the good part is that you get an uncensored view of what we feel about the community

I'd like to get all of you updated on the compiz related things discussed at the X developer conference that was held last week. The slides I used for my talk are available from here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~davidr/xdevconf07/ and you can also find some notes from all talks here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/XDC2007Notes My talk was mainly focused on "what's next" and how

First, there are two fundamentally diffrent types of doing multihead: The "one big screen" solution, usually achieved with xinerama , twinview or similar. This provides us with one Screen, and therefor one CompScreen structure. The output extens are retrieved from xinerama, or possibly randr (in the future?), I would assume. Then there is the less used "multiscreen" way, which

Adding new options to a plugin is a pain. There is a lot of code that has allways to be changed for that. This is the reason why I've created the Beryl/Compiz XML options parser (bcop). Bcop allows you easily to describe options in XML and will autogenerate the needed Beryl/Compiz C code for you. The only think that needs to be changed in a existing plugins is to include the xxx_options.h

As some e-mails ago, I'm trying to play beryl in my laptop. I successfully configured my xorg.conf (thanks to the comunity for the help that allowed me that). The problem: When I boot the laptop without external LCD/CRT, beryl is working fine, but when I boot it with the external, it recognice fine the external LCD and don't want to allow beryl run. What beryl says: === BEGIN === $

Hi, I have added compiz support to aquamarine. You can download it directly from beryl svn: svn co svn://svn.beryl-project.org/beryl/trunk/aquamarine/ To install: ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-debug=full ./make ./sudo make install You can use kcontrol to set the decoration and decoration specific settings. You can post bugs to the beryl bugtracker at http://bugs.beryl-project.org . Please

Latest amd/ati drivers (8.37|8.38) supports composite with dri. So, after patching beryl (cause he can work without tfp) to make it use direct rendering on "aiglx method" and removed check for GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, which fails. - I was able to run beryl on fglrx WITHOUT Xgl. Only bug with windows drawing exists(as noticed in latest known issues for ati drives), more about this bug -

Changes since 0.2.2: * Core Some stencil buffer requirements have been removed. Focus stealing prevention. Fragment attribute interface that allow plugins to perform more advanced fragment shading effects while integrating properly with other plugins. Use composite overlay window for output by default. Add file notification API.

Hello, I'm new to compiz and to this list but I'd like to contribute. I couldn't find a more appropriate place to ask a few questions about the compiz project (which is actually my first question). 1. Since the apparent compiz/beryl fork I don't see a compiz "community" site. Is there one? 2. Is compiz going to continue to be developed, and if so, is there a road

Beryl has a --skip-gl-yield ( I think now managed by --force-nvidia, dont really know though), that eases the use of beryl under heavy CPU load. Is this implemented in compiz? Cause compiz is _REALLY_ slow under heavy cpu use for me. Thanks, Joel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Changes since 0.3.2: * Core Support for multiple desktops (workspaces). Much better multi-head support. The workarea is calculated per output and windows are now maximized properly. Edge button option has been added to action options. It can be used to require a button press for edge actions to be triggered. Basic support from internal

Greetings everybody! I was asked by someone (from the beryl-forum) if/how one could alter the values for the two color-stops used by the fallback-gradient of the skydome (for the case the supplied image could not be found). Up to now they were hardcoded, but with this patch they can be set via... /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/skydome_gradient_start_color

Beryl has this mask called PAINT_WINDOW_DECORATION_MASK that the decoration plugin sets when it's drawing the decorator windows. It lets you apply an effect to a window that doesn't affect the decorations. Does this sound like something that would be useful in compiz? -- Travis Watkins http://www.realistanew.com

I see many people hate Compiz (and use Beryl) just because it needs gconf + many other GNOME deps. I think this is the biggest advantage of Beryl over Compiz. Yes, users don't have to compile compiz with gconf, but how will they configure things? They'll modify the sources? Compiz needs a new configuration plugin. A text-based one, independent of tons of libraries would be great.

Hi, I am currently developing a xsnow like plugin for beryl called xglsnow (http://cornergraf.net/projects/xglsnow/). I have been told(1) that my way of drawing to the desktop is not very good and that a better way might exist. I realize beryl is not the same as compiz, but I hope that the differences are not too big on this matter, if not excuse me for this post. My drawing currently works
